Shoigu called the timing of deliveries to the troops of TOS-2 "Tosochka"

The newest heavy flamethrower system TOS-2 ("Tosochka") will enter the troops by the end of this year. This was announced by Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu.

Speaking at the collegium of the military department, the minister said that TOS-2 will be tested at the Caucasus-2020 exercises, which will be held in September this year. The supply of the flamethrower system to the troops is planned to begin before the end of the year.

By the end of the year, it is planned to supply the troops with a new heavy flamethrower system TOS-2, which has an increased range and power. Practical shooting using TOS-2 will be practiced at the Kavkaz-2020 strategic exercise

- said the head of the military department.

Earlier, the head of Rostec, Sergei Chemezov, said that TOS-2 is completing tests. Most likely we are talking about the end of preliminary tests, after which the state tests will follow. The equipment will go to the troops for trial operation, following which a decision will be made on the serial production of the system.

The TOS-2 heavy flame-throwing system was created on the basis of the TOS-1 "Buratino" and TOS-1A "Solntsepek", but in contrast to them it has a wheelbase and improved tactical and technical characteristics. Earlier it was reported about the creation of new ammunition for TOS-2. The machine was created taking into account the experience of using such weapons during the hostilities in the Middle East.

And why do you need to take another missile launcher to the already huge zoo of missile and cannon artillery?
They no longer know what to cut the budget on, they mold according to the principle "if only it was."

To shoot normally at short ranges.
The rest of the "zoo" is tailored for shooting at large, and the range is growing. And along with it, the minimum

There are simply no goals for these huge area burners, why are they needed?

No, they just know a little about artillery.

Oh, this "own way" ... God forbid war, with this semblance of an army under the strict guidance of retrogrades, the country will sip more grief.

MLRS and barreled artillery have different tasks and are not interchangeable.

For these burners

The thermobar is more of an advanced land mine than a "burner".

Oh, this "your way"

??
No "own way" Even such kopleists of "NATO standards" and the American Army (aspirated), as the Poles, have not abandoned the system of normal MLRS.

[We are for our]

MLRS and barreled artillery have different tasks and are not interchangeable.

And I just knew that before the advent of missiles there were no wars, all these are inventions of historians-sorcerers.

Poles, never abandoned the system of normal MLRS.

They did not refuse because there is nothing to replace from here right away. However, the share of MZSO in the armies of the countries of Eastern Europe is steadily declining.

There was cheap infantry. As I remember, under Verdun, both sides on the 15 km of the front, more than 300 thousand people only lost the dead.

They just replace them For example, on R-40 "Langusta"

The tasks are exactly the same and are interchangeable. And not only MLRS, but also tactical missile systems, such as Iskander, not only do not exclude the receiver, but simply supplement it in a different version. I will tell you one more "secret". All these weapons, both rocket and cannon, do not just belong to the same branch of the army.

[Lopatov]

Aha

Retreat - run, advance - run ...

On the one hand, in order to complete the same task in the same time as the TOS platoon, you will have to collect mortars from the entire division.
But at the same time, most of the tasks available to TOC mortars cannot be performed in principle.

You are just my friend Any artilleryman will just laugh in your face. Based on your "message", then a rifle and a machine gun are completely different things, designed for different purposes and tasks. Take the trouble to at least read and understand for yourself an elementary definition.

Artillery:
branch of the armed forces, the main weapons of which are artillery pieces - firearms of relatively large caliber: cannons, howitzers, mortars, etc., equipped, respectively, with throwing and reactive weaponsdesigned to destroy enemy personnel and objects;

So the goals and objectives are the same. Don't worry, it's never too late to learn.

It is intended.
Didn't you know that?

Quote: orionvitt

Take the trouble to at least read and understand for yourself an elementary definition.

The definition is so elementary that it does not correspond to reality.
For example, one of the tasks of artillery is lighting. The task is available to mortars, which are not available to those in service with MLRS. And at the same time it is not connected with the "destruction of manpower and enemy objects". Similarly with shooting for blinding. And so on.
Don't repeat the nonsense from Wikipedia

Once again, MLRS and mortars perform different tasks.
As an example, MLRS, in principle, cannot deliver a movable or stationary barrage fire. And mortars can.

As for me some kind of stupidity, why create a "new" MLRS when you can create several types of rounds (RS) for existing MLRS? Here in TOS-1 there was a sense in the tank chassis, which made it possible to come closer to the front line, as a result, it was possible to increase the volume of the warhead by reducing the reactive part, but then TOS-2 on a light / medium wheeled chassis, and this functionality disappeared , so what's the point in such an MLRS?

Controversial.
To use them, you will have to discharge normal PCs. That is, all this time, the "long arm" of the brigade / division will be absent. And this is not good. In addition, whoever blasphemes, we don't really have many MLRSs.

But I agree, everything is not optimally organized, it could have been better.

To be honest, the continuing fragmentation is starting to strain. They would have taken one worked-out version and produced it in series.

Tornado G is the Hail
Tornado C - Tornado
Well and so on

[Lopatov]

"Grad", "Tornado-G", "Dam".
Plus "Prima" and "Grad-1" in question. Perhaps they were removed from the troops, and therefore did not count. As well as "Grad-V", which, if they remain, then only at storage bases
"Tornado", "Tornado-S"
"Uragan", "Uragan1M"
TOS-1, TOS-2, "Tosochka"
ISDM

Our economy fell long ago and is now crawling. And the funds allocated for the military-industrial complex are being reduced. We are not rich enough to rivet many different options and serve them all. New developments are good, but optimization and unification should be done.

If MO intends to stay on this new platform for a while, great. And if after 5 years, having produced a couple of dozen TOS-2s, they again jump to a new version, then it will be completely game.

[Lopatov]

Quote: Voyager

Save ...
In our minds, two types of MLRS are enough for us. On the lower level, there is something that combines "Tosochka" and ISDM. And use it to equip jet battalions at the brigade-divisional level, sappers and chemists. Just use different ammunition.
Well, at higher ones - "Hurricane-1m" to replace "Tornadoes and Hurricanes"

But it will have to all the "Grads" available in the troops, and "Tornado" is stupid to write off. And not upgrade to "Tornado-G" and "Tornado-S"

Toochka and Agriculture to cross? Will the range get normal? With an acceptable amount of filling?

The level of protection, like that of "Tosochka", modular loading, like that of ISDM

Quote: garri-lin

Will the range get normal?

As far as I remember, ISDM guides are longer than those of Grad / Tornado-G

[garri-lin]

Longer. This is what you noted in the discussion after the parade. And the caliber? Or multi-caliber?

[Lopatov]

Quote: garri-lin

And the caliber? Or multi-caliber?

Any system with modular loading can be made multi-caliber.

[garri-lin]

It is truth too. I didn't think.

[maxxavto]

for example, for air transportation, they are easier and more likely to enter the plane, or maybe the military plans to air or sea landing of such a system

[ProkletyiPirat]

For air travel, it would be better to modify the old MLRS by making them multi-caliber, and so they created another "fatal flaw".

Quote: Spade

But whose equipment will they use? RCBZ battalions or jet batteries and divisions? In whose "amplification kit"? It is not entirely clear the place of these combat vehicles in battle formations.

[Speedy]

Yes, with TOS1 it is also not clear why in the RCBZ. And bumblebees. With them at least figured out in the end, RSHG and just the infantry saturated with bumblebees. But, I think, although it is special, the artillery should be at the "gunners" and not at the chemists. Although I may be wrong, with coronaviruses, all kinds of chemists may need it))

You are completely correct. These are the troops of the RChBZ.

I wonder what is the range? After all, the previous sunshine had one important drawback, it is a short range of defeat ..

Hypothetically. Your units are located near the settlement. It contains the enemy stronghold. reinforced firing points and snipers - the sea. Don't stick your nose straight out onto the main street. Everything is shot from the basement of the house. The house is so solid.
What to do ... We call the chemists. TOSKA approaches this house in about 5 km. Carefully places two shells under the house. And to the rear. The house is in place ... Exploration to the house ... And such soft soft bodies lie in the basement. The handles are bent in all directions. Eyes on the rollout ... and silence ... This is the work of TOSKA ... At @ ren it is 30 km away. She is a jeweler and assistant in skillful hands ...
Goes to the rear

TOSKA approaches this house for 5 km. Carefully places two shells under the house.

But it doesn't work out like that.
Or with five kilometers of several vehicles on a target such as VOP 300x200
Or drag on semi-direct aiming at short ranges, and try to aim

And your scenario requires guided missiles. Which for some strange reason do not exist.
Although I do not think that it is so difficult to fasten Krasnopol's control system to these PCs.

This is clear. but what does Pinocchio have to do with it then ?? that he fired sometime from a flamethrower? why not the serpent Gorynych? But no, for some reason they called the mine clearance installation the serpent Gorynych then they would just call TOC 1 (2,3)

I saw how Solntsepek works, and then went, so to speak, to fix the result ... And he is there: a nightmarish sight. And awesome efficiency.
